Gabby Barrett Releases “O Come, O Come Emmanuel” Feat. The Piano Guys From Upcoming Christmas Album
One of the most powerful moments on Gabby Barrett’s Carols and Candlelight (Warner Music Nashville), “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel (feat. The Piano Guys)” finds the MULTI-PLATINUM star bringing a stunning new intensity to a hymn whose origin dates back over 1,200 years.
In her majestic rendition of “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel,” she joins The Piano Guys’ pianist Jon Schmidt and cellist Steven Sharp Nelson for a sparsely orchestrated yet spellbinding track. Reflecting her deep-rooted faith, Barrett fully embodies the gravitas essential for such a profoundly moving piece, infusing her performance with equal parts wonder, longing, and joy.
Produced by Barrett’s frequent collaborator Ross Copperman and recorded by The Piano Guys’ Al van der Beek, “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel” centers on a captivating arrangement created by Nelson and renowned pianist/composer Marshall Stephen McDonald.
As the song unfolds, Barrett’s exquisitely nuanced vocals create a breathtaking interplay with Schmidt’s resplendent piano melodies and Nelson’s soulful cello lines, quietly enveloping the listener in its fullhearted emotion. An unforgettable work of pure unfettered beauty, “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel” ultimately captures the hopeful spirit of the season with extraordinary grace.
